I thought it was pretty good, but I saw E9 and felt a little disgusted with the image of Silk Ling and Spyglass.
There are three kinds of people in the original book "Watchmen",
Rorschach and Xiaojiang are idealists who pay attention to process justice, and expose the truth even at the expense of themselves.
The Pharaoh is a realist who values the justice of results, even if he becomes a devil, he must "save the world."
The second generation of night owl , the second generation of Silk Ling , are ordinary people who pay attention to the present. They have neither the courage to sacrifice nor the determination to dedicate themselves to ideals. They can only let the first two make decisions for themselves. Rorschach has won himself. , Pharaoh can survive if he wins.
The silk and the speculum in "Watchmen S1" make me feel very strange. When Pharaoh Rerun killed people and saved the world, they didn't see them jump out to stop him. After Pharaoh killed people with squids and the world peace, he happily put Pharaoh down with a wrench to bring them to justice.
The Pharaoh was also dumbfounded, and asked the second generation Silk "Why did you suddenly remember that you want to judge me?", the second generation Silk Ling replied, "People can change."
Hehe, people will change. Let me finish it for you.
In 1985, the Pharaoh's plan was successful. Just after the end of the Cold War, when you and the second generation Ye Xiao were sleepy in Antarctica, you did not change.
From 1985 to 2009, when the Pharaoh's address was exposed, and he had not announced his suspended animation and was not transmitted to Europa, you have not changed.
Thirty minutes ago, Zhao Yu wanted to ascend to god and dominate the world. When Pharaoh tried to stop him, you did not change.
Now, the shadow of the Cold War is gone, the big boss is wiped out by the Pharaoh, and you jump out and say "Never compromise" to let the Pharaoh take the blame.
"Don't look at me, he is the bad guy who did it." I wonder if you also helped the Pharaoh to kill the people in those blocks?
I thought that the speculum could be the true spiritual inheritor of Rorschach, but now it seems that I think too much. You are neither idealists nor realists, the second generation of Silk Ling and Spyglass. You are cowards and you are hypocrites.
In the original book, the pharaoh's actions were criticized mainly for two reasons.
The first type: Rorschach’s reason is that “justice achieved by unrighteous means is not justice”. The world is as clear as his mask, and there is no gray area. In this show, I didn't find a person who could reach this level (originally I had high hopes for the sight glass).
The second type: As the "Legend of the Black Cargo Ship" implies, the world may not be destroyed, but the Pharaoh created all of this, and that 3 million people would have no need to die. But the problem is that based on the setting of the original worldview, due to the departure of Manhattan, the United States is already calculating how much land we can save. The country is already on red alert. I can hardly believe that a full-scale nuclear war will not break out. As for the algorithm Pharaoh just misjudged all this, but he made a choice instead of hiding behind the scapegoat and throwing trouble on others after being saved. This is much higher than the realm of the second-generation Silk Ling and Speculum.
When watching the original work of "Watchmen", I respected Pharaoh, Laughing Carpenter and Rorschach (there should be a generation of Ye Xiao), because they are heroes who dared to dedicate themselves to their ideals; I sympathize with the second generation of Ye Xiao and the two generations of Silk Spirit, Because this is the choice of most ordinary people. No one makes me feel very "dandruff", but the second-generation silk spirit and speculum in E09 are really the embodiment of earthly dust.
For example, the situation in "Watchmen" is similar to that of several people who were killed in a lifeboat at sea, there was no food around, and A was seriously injured. B suggested to others, "Anyway, A will not live long, we can kill A and get some food." C strongly protested but couldn't beat B and was unable to prevent the final suicide by throwing himself into the sea. D didn't want to kill but didn't want to starve to death, so he acquiesced to B's behavior. E helped B find a knife and ate happily afterwards. After being saved, E confessed to B and said that B killed someone. B was angry and asked, "Why didn't you stop me at that time? Don't eat if you have the ability?", and E said, "People can change. How do you know that we can't be rescued if we are hungry?"
Correspondence: A is the 3 million people, B is the Pharaoh, C is Rorschach/Laughing Craftsman, D is the second-generation Silk Ling (in the original work) and the second-generation Ye Xiao, E is the second-generation Silk Ling and he in E09 Speculum, crumbs in crumbs. Alan Moore's "Watchmen" is to some extent a trolley dilemma problem. Regarding this classic ethical question, the author himself did not give a definite answer to whether the lever is pulled or not.
And "Watchmen S1E9" people gave the answer:
Let's wait for someone who pulls the lever and then arrest him/her.
Niubi, Niubi, why didn't everyone expect it? Everyone is happy, everyone is happy.
